Partners. The series B funding values micro1, Inc. at USD 4 billion post-money. micro1 offers a comprehensive solution for companies seeking to expand their engineering capabilities.

Their platform facilitates the hiring process by presenting a pool of pre-vetted software engineers, and clients can select the best fit for their needs. The company vetting process begins with GPT-4-powered technical assessments, followed by a screening call and 1-2 technical interviews conducted by senior engineers. This stringent process is further complemented by a soft skills interview to assess candidates' communication, passion, and attitude. Once engineers pass this rigorous selection, they receive AI-powered engineer training, which equips them with valuable skills and tools, making them approximately two times more efficient in their work.

Furthermore, micro1 takes care of complex international employment laws, global payroll, and benefits, enabling hassle-free global compliance. The company will use the October 2026 funding to continue investing in people, research and infrastructure, expand data generation capabilities, and support its long-term data strategy.
